March pick-up thread

Super excited to add this to my PC. Pop 2 for SGC with none graded higher between SGC and PSA.

Nice Hornsby.

I picked up the other 2 Lajoies Phila and Philadelphia this morning and they are en route. I'd rather have nicer conditions, but I can always upgrade later. These 2 cards get me to 179/185.

The Phila example has a name on the top boarder. I will report back with an update to my T213 2-Name thread when I have the card in hand and can magnify it.

I had my eye on this. Not surprised to see it turned up here. Fantastic card.

Thanks! I threw out an offer I was comfortable with and it was accepted. Very happy!

Such a slept on Hornsby card— and Hornsby is tragically slept-on as a player. Wish he had one card that was an "it" card in the hobby. Every time I surf his stats on baseball-reference it makes me want to collect him. Good Lord his numbers are cartoonishly dominant.

I totally agree with the Hornsby. I like to research a player before targeting and buying him. I was amazed with how great he was statistically even during that timeframe even beyond just his accomplishments with BA. Also loved the rarity of this card vs the Goudey from the end of his playing career.

Two very recent pickups. These remind of those "A for awesome, A for affordable" posts that someone here likes to make

My first 2 of 3 pick ups this month. Up to 9 t206s now! Just waiting on a chance yellow port in the mail. Will post it when I get it.

I'm mostly a postwar guy, but I sold a bunch of Jordan cards during the recent craziness and was able to subsidize an all-time card purchased through the net54 community. For my price range, this represents my ideal card of one of baseball's best:

Congratulations! A beautiful card and an all-time classic. You'll never regret this purchase. Enjoy!

Great pickup! This is my favorite Goudey card of all time!
